I ran accross this post to an article on the Super Blackhawk:
"This gun does, however, have a flaw. I own a Super Blackhawk in Stainless steel that I bought new last year. The gate detent spring kept popping out of place and jamming the cylinder. I had to send it back twice to Ruger before they got it fixed right and they absolutely stood behind their product. I took it to a local gunsmith that told me this flaw was very common for this gun. Also found a lot of complaints about this on the web. I hope Ruger addresses this problem."
I just picked up a Super Blackhawk recently. Anybody know anything about this supposed defect?
